Even some sponsors who will tell you they know so much have opened Tubes. Because their sites made so much money or no options?

The first thing to remember is porn is a disposable product bought on a regular basis by most customers. It's a consumable product like groceries to many. So when selling that product you're relying on repeat sales to the same people. Maybe not on the same site but from the same supply source. So when you keep pissing him off he gets disillusioned and when someone offers him a better option he moves to it.

We have to work out how to win him back or close all Tubes (legal and illegal) if we want to get him back.

Bigger sites.
Broader selection of content.
Better content.
More than just videos and pictures.
More flexible membership options.
More updates.

Hence the success of the clips4sale model, as well as tube sites.

More content. More updates. More buyer control over what they buy. Even if more expensive. This 'tube crazy' has been coming for some time. The writing was on the wall. Industry folk just ignored it. The 'tube' is only the technology to the bigger issue.

Te future of this business, and commerce, is about CHOICE.
